Background

In October 2023, it was announced at the New Global Sport Conference that the Gamers8 esports festival, organized by the Saudi Esports Federation, would be "upgraded" to the Esports World Cup, held during the summer of 2024. ^[5] In March 2024, it was announced that the PUBG Mobile mid-seasonal tournament, officially known as the PUBG Mobile World Cup (PMWC), would be included in the Esports World Cup games line-up, ^[6] with the official format revealed shortly after. ^[7]

The PUBG Mobile World Invitational (PMWI), which preceded the World Cup, was first held in 2021 under the Saudi Esports Federation's "Gamers Without Borders" initiative. Initially divided into East and West divisions, it was unified into a single global tournament from 2022 onward with the launch of Gamers8.

The PUBG Mobile World Cup 2025, part of the 2025 Esports World Cup, features 24 teams competing for a total prize pool of US$3,000,000. The tournament serves as the official mid-seasonal world tournament for PUBG Mobile and continues to be held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. ^{[1] [2] [3] [4]}

Format

Here is the format of PUBG Mobile World Cup 2025: ^[8]

In the Group Stage, the three groups, consisting of eight teams each (a total of 24 teams), will compete against each other. The top 8 teams from the Group Stage will advance to the Grand Finals. The remaining 16 teams will advance to the Survival Stage. In the Survival Stage, the bottom 16 teams from Group Stage will compete against each other. The top 8 teams from the Survival Stage will advance to the Grand Finals. The top 8 teams from the Group Stage, along with the top 8 teams from the Survival Stage (a total of 16 teams), will compete in the Grand Finals.

Unlike last year, this year's PMWC Grand Finals applied the "Smash Rule": at the end of day 2, a target point would be set by adding 10 points to the score of the team at the top of the standings at that point. In order to be the champions, teams would have to reach or exceed the target point mark after a game; and then receive a Winner Winner Chicken Dinner in the games afterwards. If none of the teams achieve both conditions, the team with the most points would become the champion.
